What Do Physiotherapists Do?

Physiotherapists are regulated practitioners that have been specially-trained to help with recovery and movement following an injury or illness.

Properly trained physiotherapists can treat patients with a wide range of physical problems and conditions, such as:

Post-surgical rehabilitation

Intensive care

Terminal illness

Chest problems

Injuries and fractures

Bone and joint pain

Strokes and neurological conditions

Posture problems

Physiotherapists often work as part of a multi-disciplinary team skilled in numerous areas of medicine. You may find them in hospitals, GP surgeries, professional sports teams, workplaces and even in the comfort of your own home.

Physiotherapists evaluate and consider the body as a whole. They do not just focus on one area or the individual aspects of an injury. A good practitioner will provide advice, guide you through various exercises and perform manual therapy to help an individual through the recovery process.

Physiotherapy for Sports

Regular physiotherapy can improve circulation, reduce impact pain and increase elasticity in your soft tissue. This can all be achieved by a sports massage – also known as a deep tissue massage. When performed by a qualified professional, a sports massage can provide valuable relief to a recurring problem and prevent further issues.

The importance of this technique is recognised in almost all professional sport these days. Footballers, tennis players, rugby players and fighters all take part in physiotherapy to alleviate pain and aid the recovery process.
